New Delhi, the 24th September, 1949

No. l(l)T.B./49.—The Tariff Board was asked to conduct necessary inquiries inter alia into the coated abrasives industry in order to find out the disparity between the indigenous fair selling prices and the c.i.f. prices of corresponding imports and whethor the quantum or nature of protection was adequate or not. As the protection granted to the coated abrasives industry is due to expire on the 31st March 1950 the Tariff Board took the opportunity of considering whether the period of protection should be extended. The Board, having considered the matter, has submitted its report. Its recommendations are as follows:—

(1) 'The Textile Commissioner should consider the advisability of directing the textile mills to revert to the old practice of manu- facturing backing cloth of a width of 85" for use in the manu- facture of emery cloth.

(2) No change is at present called for in the existing rate of protective duty so far as sand/flint glass paper is concerned.

(3) The existing protective duty of 80 per cent, ad valorem leviable on emery cloth and abrasive rolls, etc., under item 30(10) of the Indian Customs Tariff should be raised to 85 per cent. with immediate effect under Section 4(1) of the Tariff Act.

(4) The reimposition of restrictions on the imports of abrasives is not favoured.

(5) The existing protective duties with the increase proposed in respect of emery cloth should be continued for a further period of (wo years with effect from lst April 1950.
